How am I doing?

is text messaging better than calling to communicate with girls in the beginning. What's your take on this? I really don't want to call to make a date and get voicemail. And leaving a message leaves it on her court. Do you think text messaging is better?

Texting is not better than communicating in person. However, I don't think it is a bad idea to send a text to a girl to ask her out. I recently just got my very first cell phone (no I am not ancient, I'm only in my 20's, I'm just way behind the times). I recently started seeing a guy and he sent me my very first text. Which was him asking me out for the first time. He is really shy so I think that was probably the easiest way he could work up the nerve to ask me out. I am really glad he did, No matter which way he did. Asking someone out for the first time is very stressful and I think texting can help take a little of the stress off. If she accepts the date I would then call her to set up plans.

If you feel a little uneasy about leaving a voice mail then theres nothing wrong with asking someone if they would like to go out over text. Although its not as formal but it is a little more convient to converse. I would send the text and ask how shes doing? and if she would like to go out sometime, and specify when

I have to disagree with the above posters. I think you should make the call, especially since it is to ask her out of a first date.
